Sadly he doesn;t belong to me so when I got an opportunity last year to steal him for an hour from a crafting buddy I stamped him rather a lot.... brought lots of him home.... and promptly forgot about him. 😧😧
So there I was putting away the Christmas stash for another year and he was there looking at me from the drawer.
He was still smiling so maybe he isn't too annoyed - and hopefully he will still come and visit me in a couple of days.
Coloured him lightly and popped him behind a die cut frame then added a few holly bough die cuts.
Gave him a bit of sparkle and finished card - unfortunately he will have to go back in the drawer now till next year!!
I have been quite poorly this week with what I can only describe as what started off as a cold but quickly developed into the worst cough in the universe. 😷
I ventured out to do some food shopping on Thursday and it only served to make me worse. I have been indoors ever since.
I am hoping that by Monday I at least start to feel a bit better - otherwise it will be Christmas Day in my PJ's on the sofa wrapped in a blanket feeling very sorry for myself!
If this is your last visit to me before the Big Day, I wish you all a happy Christmas surrounded by those you love. xx

This really is a super Santa, I'm not surprised that you took the opportunity to stamp him out lots of times. I love the frame you've created for him. Hope you feel better soon, Viv and are well enough to enjoy Christmas. xx
Sorry to hear you've been bothered by feeling ill and with a nasty cough as well - always a real trial I think. Take care and I hope you feel better by Tuesday. This is a really good Santa stamp, really traditional and just right.
Lovely card Viv. Thanks for joining us at Make my Monday. Love Dawn x

This is a gorgeous Santa image and a lovely card Viv.
It would be a super card for our current Try it on Tuesdays theme, if you you would like to link it there.
I hope you will be feeling much better soon, I had that cough a few weeks ago and it is no joy.
If I don't get back here I hope you have a very Happy Christmas.
Take care of yourself.

He is a super Santa. I love how you have used the die cut holly and wrapped it around the frame . I have a certain Duck stamp that is going right to the back of a very dark cupboard!! Hope your feeling better by Tuesday. Wishing you a happy Christmas and a healthy New Year. Hugs Mrs A.
